<TITLE>11. Par 48-50</TITLE>L-48 "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature." How far? All the world. To who? Every creature. "These signs shall follow them that believe." That was what was the beginning. Anything contrary to that is not right. You don't find it in creeds; you find it in Christ. He's the only One.
You say, "Brother Branham, the Bible says that..."
What did it say, "In My Name they shall cast out devils; they shall speak with new languages, tongues. And if they take up serpents or drink deadly things it shall not harm them. If they lay hands on the sick, they shall recover." That's what the Scripture said. Anything contrary to That...
You say, "These signs follow them. He's a good old man; he pays his tithes; he works good; he treats his neighbor right." If that's all it took, Christ didn't have to die. It takes a personal experience of passing from death unto life and becoming a new creature in Christ Jesus with Christ in the heart. That's the Holy Spirit. That's where it began.

L-49 Them disciples were good men. They were righteous men. They paid they're debts. They were honest. They'd give seventeen inches in a yard and so many ounces over a pound and will go one mile they go two. They were very religious, and so was those Pharisees. But Jesus said, "Except a man be borned again he will in no wise enter into the Kingdom." You've got to go back to where we left Him. Go back and find Him. For these creeds was not so in the beginning. The denomination churches was not so in the beginning. So just drop everything and rush back to Pentecost and find the true and the living God, Who heals the sick, cleanse the lepers, casts out devils, and claims to be in the Bible the same yesterday, today, and forever.
He is the God of the beginning. He's He Who changes not. He cannot be God and be something today, and something else tomorrow, and something else. He cannot be infinite and be that. He is absolutely the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-50 Now friend, in the day that we're living, when we see that men has corrupted the world with their traditions, when they've corrupted the church with their traditions, when they've corrupted the minds of people with their traditions... Did not we go through it the other night and see where that old prostate church--or prostitute church had daughters and they both give out for doctrine the fornications of their filthiness? That comes through every organization. They're polluted.
And now, I'm not saying get away from your organization. But get away from this holding to that organization; get to Christ. Those things are wrong. Let's go back to the beginning. Then if we can do that, you'll find Christ moving into that house that's built upon the solid Rock. There signs and wonders and every blessings that God promised will be manifested through that church. Let us pray.
